Mini Ornaments

Last week I spent an afternoon making these fun, fast (and how adorable are they?!) mini ornaments. I had a box full of the little charms in different shapes and sizes that I got from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts. They pair perfectly with so many of the stamps from my RubberMoon collection!

They're easy to make and assemble. I began by stamping whatever image I wanted on white cardstock. I decorated the images and cut the cardstock to fit the charms. I glued the cardstock to the base of the charm and then glued on the top piece of the charm.

Next, I made a puddle of glue on my craft mat and dipped the top of the charm in it and then dipped it in glitter. Just like frosting a donut and putting sprinkles on top! (Mmmm.... donuts....)

Finally, I added Diamond Glaze to the inside to make it look shiny and glass. One thing to note is that I used StazOn ink for the stamping and coloring. I did this because the Diamond Glaze will make water based inks run.

When everything was dry, I added a little bow and a string for danglin'. Ta Da! Christmas magic. I'll use these to decorate my tiny 18" tree or to add to packages for a little extra present.

Here they are up close (but keep in mind that the largest is only about 1 1/4 x 1 3/4").

RubberMoon has me in Stitches!

By Colleen Bodvig

I've stamped my heart out making Greeting Cards for the Holidays, so I thought it was time to wash the ink from my hands and take a break... that is, after I stamped these two RubberMoon images (Star Wreath and 3 Hanging Ornaments) on fabric, using a StazOn ink pad.

 

 

A few simple, satin stitches later...  and Voila!

Don't be afraid to take your ink pad and stamps to new places.  

Be Merry!

Happy Holidays from Colleen!

December Daily

Hi there, Jessica here! I wanted to wish you a Happy Christmas Eve on behalf of Rubbermoon!

My daughter and I have been working hard on our December Daily. This is the first year I've taken on the daunting task of tracking every day, but here we are, December 24th, and it hasn't been so bad!

I love stamping. I especially love piecing stamps together to create my own pattern paper. I've taken to purchasing white paper, ribbons, buttons, etc because I can easily alter the color to be whatever I want.

I absolutely fell in love with Rubbermoon's Old Fashioned Ornament stamps and knew exactly what I'd use them for!

I thought these stamps would make an adorable piece of patten paper! I buy my stamps unmounted, and then mount them on cling foam so I can use them on an acrylic block. That allows me to stamp several images at one time. Like this... 

I knew exactly which photo I was going to use, so I grabbed some paints that matched my photo, and added those colors to the ornaments... (I used VersaFine to stamp the images, in Onyx Black.)

Once the paint had dried, I went ahead and added the photo, using Pop Dots, from Glue Dots, to secure it in place. 

I feel like, none of the pattern paper I had could do this photo justice, and once I created the ornament paper, it just... was perfect! The perfect amount of color... the perfect colors... and it didn't overpower my photo the the papers I had. 

Have you tried creating your own pattern paper?
